The cultivation of sugarcane is one of the oldest in human civilization. In Brazil the species Saccharum officinarum is of greater importance for the sugar-alcohol sector due to its high levels of sucrose. Over time, several ...

The history of degradation has generated millions of hectares that demand forest restoration by landowners in the Atlantic Rain Forest and other tropical regions of the world. However, the high cost of the projects inhibits ...

The Brazilian Cerrado is a mosaic of vegetation types, raging from grasslands to forests. Cerrado has been converted and degraded by anthropogenic activities, increasing the need for ecological restoration in many areas. ...

Sludge generated at the Water Treatment Plant (ETA), which is the residue mainly formed in the decanter or the filter, is a material composed of solid, organic and inorganic substances, which is most often disposed of ...

There are prospects of increases in the productivity of the sugarcane crop with the suitability of the varieties to the edaphoclimatic zoning. Several restrictions on the expression of the genetic potential of the varieties ...

The agricultural management influences soil chemical attributes and sugarcane productivity. Are the changes enough to affect the soil fetility and the soil chemicals pedologyc parameters to implies changes in the pedologyc ...

The sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), a poaceae originating in Eastern Central of Africa, has great potential for the production of bioenergy. In Brazil, due to the importance of sugarcane as a source of renewable ...

The population dynamics of plants can be differently influenced by environmental differences in both regional and local scales. On a regional scale, population dynamics can be influenced by climate, stochastic events and ...

The pollination is a fundamental ecosystem function for the plants development, including the
reproductive success. In Crotalaria juncea L., it is verified that the flowers have distinct
anthers morphs and fillets length, ...

The mating process of the leaf-cutting ants, genus Atta, represents a relevant event to be studied due to its biological interest. The mating coincides with the onset of the rainy season and the hottest period of the year, ...

The demand for information about resources quantity and quality of a watershed, and how
these resources are related with riparian forests, restoration, farming and Ecosystem Services
(ES) production, are very debated ...

Vegetative and reproductive phases of plant growth differ in their metabolic activity, which is greater during the reproductive period and consequently, requires more energy. Physiological compensatory mechanisms are ...

Forest restoration is a global priority by make the reestablishment of ecosystem services. Many of these services have major importance on the agriculture fields, such as the pest control given by the predators and parasitoids ...

Solid-state cultivation (SSC) refers to microbial growth on solid supports under limited free-water conditions, that is, similar to the occurrence of mainly fungi in nature. This process has had considerable technological ...

Pollinators are responsible for tropical forests polinization and also have direct and indirect action on human feeding. The pollinators are majorly represented by bees. Even though, this contribution has been affected by ...
